San Diego is home to a dazzling array of today’s most successful biotech inventors, companies, and technologies.

Which area innovations will help transform the way we treat and prevent disease?

Through stellar keynotes, case studies, panel discussion, and networking, Xconomy will bring to the forefront San Diego?s newest generation of biotech executives, entrepreneurs, and startups, as well as visionary leaders from outside the region, to look at the future of biotech innovation in our area?and beyond.
